Twitter WTF LevelReal-time updates on twitter swearing

Down for Maintenance

Hello! wtflevel.com is currently down and will be for
awhile. Twitter has changed how it outputs data and I want
to tweak how the site works anyway. I've kept the
historical data available for reference.

WTF?What the hell is this?

WTFLevel.com is a project to track and monitor the
amount of swearing on Twitter at any given moment. It's
mostly a humorous attempt to get an idea of how aggravated
the planet is at any moment.

We continuously check Twitter for references to a list
of swear words. The list is private to prevent anyone from
trying to manipulate the system, but as an example,
the Seven
Dirty Words are all on the list. At the moment, the
list is made up of only swears in English.

Every 10 seconds we total up the count of all tweets
containing a swear, and figure out the rate of sweary
tweets from that. The stats on the website are updated in
real-time with any new data.

Rate: is the current percentage of tweets
that contain swears. In the above output, this means
that 5.05% of tweets fit the bill.

Score: Some tweets are more extreme than
others. The WTF score is an attempt to account for
this. A higher number means that the magnitude of
shit said on Twitter is higher.

Level: This is the name of the current level,
as described above.

If you just want to display the current tirade level on
your website, simply include the following tag in any
wherever you want the badge to appear:
Optionally, you can put the code in the footer of your HTML page, and
specify the ID of a tag to replace with the badge like so:
This will replace the the element with id #foo with the badge.
